Realists

a couple realists glad for the long way.
a couple realists glad for the long way home

A silent ride home from the grocery,
Detour sign put us high enough to see the sky opening.
Right place and time, to soak it in.
We never go this way, it eats up our TV time.

a couple realists glad for the long way.
a couple realists glad for the long way home

People avoid looking towards the West side of town.
Until the sun sets. It’s their 15 minutes.
On a night like this, high above the arguments.
When the blue sky split and spilled it’s acrylics.

a couple realists glad for the long way.
a couple realists glad for the long way home

And when you swerve into
oncoming traffic, I’ll be beside you
and glad when you choose, the wrong way,
we’ll be glad for the long way home.
